Figure 1. Daily chart of the SPX with several technical indicators, including the Bolling Bands and our preferred Elliott Wave Principle count. Source: StockCharts.com Bearish Wave Count Points to Downside Risk Thus, indeed, the rally has stalled. Hence, one of our preferred EWP counts remains that an irregular B-wave has topped: red W-b. Irregular means that it is longer than the preceding A-wave: red W-a. Since B-waves always comprise three waves (a-b-c), the green W-c has stalled out in the ideal target zone. In this case, the red W-c to ~6740-7120 is now underway, setting up a 3rd of a 3rd wave to at least ~7480. But before it can get there, we could first see a retracement back up to around 7720+/-20.
However, as always, there’s an alternative that offers a brief detour to ideally 7885-7945 before we reach 6740-7120. See Figure 2 below. It requires several steps, none of which have occurred yet:
a five-wave rally off the recent lows to ~7770 followed by a corrective pullback that holds above yesterday’s high and then a breakout above the recent ATH
SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) closed the last trading session at $205.69, gaining 9.6% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $276.1 indicates a 34.2% upside potential.
The average comprises 10 short-term price targets ranging from a low of $225.00 to a high of $310.00, with a standard deviation of $24.24. While the lowest estimate indicates an increase of 9.4% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to a 50.7% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That's because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.
But, for SPXC, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Here's What You May Not Know About Analysts' Price TargetsAccording to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
Why SPXC Could Witness a Solid UpsideAnalysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For the current year, six estimates have moved higher over the last 30 days compared to no negative revision. As a result, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased 6.1%.
Moreover, SPXC currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much SPXC could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a great growth stock is not easy at all.
By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.
However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.
Our proprietary system currently recommends SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) as one such stock. This company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.
While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this infrastructure equipment supplier is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:
Earnings GrowthEarnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for SPX Technologies is 30%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 24.4% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 10.2%.
Cash Flow GrowthCash is the lifeblood of any business, but higher-than-average cash flow growth is more beneficial and important for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, high cash accumulation enables these companies to undertake new projects without raising expensive outside funds.
Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for SPX Technologies is 34.2%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -0.2%.
While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 24.2% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 14.3%.
Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The current-year earnings estimates for SPX Technologies have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 6.1% over the past month.
Bottom LineSPX Technologies has not only earned a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.
You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
This combination indicates that SPX Technologies is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.
SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) closed the last trading session at $214.93, gaining 0.6% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $274.6 indicates a 27.8% upside potential.
The mean estimate comprises 10 short-term price targets with a standard deviation of $24.26. While the lowest estimate of $225.00 indicates a 4.7% increase from the current price level, the most optimistic analyst expects the stock to surge 44.2% to reach $310.00. It's very important to note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is highly sought after by investors, the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable. And investors making investment decisions solely based on this tool would arguably do themselves a disservice.
But, for SPXC, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.

Helping to keep AI data centers cool SPX's revenue jumped 23% year over year to $679 million in its fiscal second quarter ended June 27.
SPX's $430 million acquisition of Neptronic bolstered its leadership position within the fast-growing thermal management solutions market. Management now sees the potential for $1.1 billion of total data center equipment sales when it reaches full production, up from a prior projection of $750 million.
"The acquisition of Neptronic expands our HVAC portfolio with highly complementary product categories that leverage our established sales channels," CEO Gene Lowe said. "At the same time, we're increasing manufacturing capacity to support growing demand."

All told, SPX's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) climbed 20% to $152 million. The HVAC leader's adjusted earnings per share increased 22% to $2.02.
Demand trends remain favorable These strong results prompted SPX to heighten its full-year financial targets. Management now expects revenue and adjusted earnings per share to grow roughly 21% and 24%, respectively, to $2.7 billion and $8.40.
"Our updated outlook reflects continued strength in data center demand, the impact of the Neptronic acquisition, and stronger performance from our detection and measurement segment, positioning us well for the balance of the year," Lowe said.

This ETF Weeds Out Small-Cap UnderperformersSPX Technologies NYSE: SPXC reported second-quarter 2026 results marked by double-digit revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings-per-share growth, as demand for its data center cooling products and stronger Detection & Measurement project activity supported performance.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 20% from a year earlier, while adjusted EPS rose 22% to $2.02, Chief Executive Officer Gene Lowe said on the company’s earnings call. Revenue increased 23%, including 17% organic growth. Consolidated segment income rose $31.3 million, or 23%, to $167.1 million, while consolidated segment margin held at 24.6%.

Stock Rotation is Underway: Here are the Winners Moving ForwardThe company raised the midpoint of its full-year adjusted EPS guidance by $0.45 to $8.40. Lowe said the updated outlook reflects additional data center volume, a stronger outlook for Detection & Measurement, and modest accretion from the recently announced Neptronic acquisition. The revised guidance implies 27% adjusted EBITDA growth at the midpoint.
Data Center Capacity Outlook Expands SPX increased its expected data center production capacity to approximately $1.1 billion when fully operational, up from a prior estimate of about $750 million. Lowe attributed the increase to higher-than-anticipated throughput at the company’s Olathe, Kansas, and Springfield facilities, as well as production and workflow improvements.
The company has raised its 2026 data center revenue outlook several times, from an initial expectation of $300 million to $350 million last quarter and now to $430 million. Lowe said demand remains strong among existing hyperscale customers, while the company has also recorded wins with colocation and “neo cloud” customers.
Assembly activity for the OlympusMAX cooling product began in July at the company’s new Madison, Alabama, facility. SPX expects to add production capabilities there during the first half of 2027. Production of engineered aluminum dampers at Tamco’s Tennessee facility is also ramping as planned.
Chief Financial Officer Mark Carano said Tamco is expected to reach full production capacity sometime in 2027, while the Madison facility is expected to reach full capacity in the second half of 2028. He added that the timetable could move earlier if progress continues favorably.
SPX said it has long-term agreements with several data center customers, though Lowe noted that such agreements are not recorded as backlog until formal purchase orders are received. The company said it evaluates supply availability for each major order and seeks to ensure it can meet delivery commitments.
HVAC Growth and Neptronic Acquisition In the HVAC segment, second-quarter revenue rose 27.6% year over year, including 18.9% organic growth. The segment recorded double-digit organic growth in both cooling and heating. Segment income increased $14 million, or 15%, primarily due to higher volume.
HVAC segment margin declined 260 basis points from a year earlier. Carano said the decline reflected capacity-expansion startup costs, the net effect of tariffs and a difficult prior-year comparison, along with modest inflationary pressure. Segment backlog ended the quarter at $919 million, up 59% organically from a year earlier, driven primarily by data center demand.
The company said the raised full-year HVAC margin outlook was attributable to the Neptronic acquisition. Carano said the remaining HVAC outlook was unchanged, and that tariffs and startup costs that weighed on the first half should moderate in the second half.
Neptronic adds intelligent controls, electric duct heaters, humidification products and actuated valves to SPX’s HVAC portfolio. Lowe said roughly half of Neptronic’s business is closely related to SPX’s existing electric heating and humidification operations, while its controls business offers capabilities for third-party fan walls and other HVAC equipment.
Carano said Neptronic is expected to generate approximately $75 million of full-year revenue, although SPX will own the business for about five months during 2026. He described the acquisition’s contribution to 2026 guidance as roughly $0.05 to $0.06 per share. Neptronic’s segment income margin is in the low-40% range, according to Carano, and management expects the business to grow at a high-single-digit rate over time.
Detection & Measurement Results Detection & Measurement revenue increased 13% year over year, while segment income rose 43% and segment margin expanded 610 basis points. The improvement was driven by high-margin project volume, including a project worth about $15 million that moved from the third quarter into the second quarter, as well as synergy initiatives across the segment.
Lowe said approximately half of the margin expansion was attributable to favorable project mix relative to the prior year, with much of the remainder tied to the timing shift and synergy efforts. Detection & Measurement backlog ended the quarter at $312 million, down from a year earlier because of higher project volume during the period.
Management expects fourth-quarter Detection & Measurement revenue to exceed third-quarter levels, with similar margins in both periods. Carano said the company’s 2026 guidance calls for segment margins of roughly 26% to 26.5%, though project mix can affect results from period to period.
Balance Sheet and Leadership Updates SPX ended the quarter with $168 million in cash, $615 million in total debt and adjusted free cash flow of about $72 million. Its leverage ratio was approximately 0.7 times under its bank credit agreement, or 1.4 times including the Neptronic acquisition.
Lowe also announced that John Swann, who leads the Detection & Measurement segment, plans to retire at the end of 2026. Eric Kaled, who has led the company’s transportation and contact platform since 2019, will succeed Swann. SPX also appointed JBT Marel Chief Executive Officer Brian Deck as an independent director.

SPX Technologies stock is among today’s top performers. Why are SPXC shares rallying? SPX Technologies Delivers a Blowout Quarter and Raises the Bar for the Full YearAdjusted earnings of $2.02 per share for the April through June period arrived 9.2% above the $1.85 consensus and extended the prior year’s $1.65 result by 22.4%. Total revenue of $679 million outpaced the $640 million estimate by more than 6% and represented a 22.9% expansion from the $552.4 million generated in the comparable quarter a year earlier.
CEO Gene Lowe credited the outcome to disciplined execution across both business segments, highlighting broad-based organic momentum, durable demand across the company’s primary end markets and a meaningful lift from acquisitions completed in recent periods.
Raised Guidance Strengthens the Bullish OutlookThe raised outlook added another dimension to the positive reaction. Full-year revenue guidance was pushed higher to a band of approximately $2.71 billion to $2.77 billion from the prior range of roughly $2.58 billion to $2.65 billion, with the midpoint pointing to approximately 21% growth from 2025 and comfortably exceeding the $2.61 billion the Street had anticipated.
Adjusted EPS guidance moved to $8.20 to $8.60 from the previous $7.75 to $8.15, putting the midpoint on track for roughly 24% year-over-year improvement and clearing the $8.03 consensus by a meaningful margin. Adjusted EBITDA guidance was also revised upward to $630 million to $660 million from $600 million to $625 million, implying approximately 27% growth at the midpoint of the new range.

SPXC Expands Data Center CapacitySPXC executives placed significant focus on expanding data center cooling capacity. President and CEO Eugene Lowe said that the company now expects approximately $1.1 billion of annual data center capacity at full production, up from the prior expectation of $750 million.
Lowe said that improvements in OlympusMAX production, facility throughput and lean initiatives helped raise expectations. The company increased its 2026 data center revenue outlook to $430 million, supported by stronger demand and improved manufacturing efficiency.
Management also highlighted customer visibility in the market. Lowe said that hyperscaler relationships and direct customer engagement provide visibility into future demand, while data center cooling remains a major growth opportunity for the HVAC business.
SPX Raises 2026 OutlookSPX increased its full-year guidance following the strong quarter. Management raised the midpoint of adjusted EBITDA guidance to reflect higher data center volume, stronger Detection & Measurement performance and the contribution from Neptronic.
The updated outlook calls for revenues of $2.705-$2.765 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $630-$660 million and adjusted EPS of $8.2-$8.6.
CFO Mark Carano said the guidance increase reflects improved execution and demand trends. He noted that HVAC margins should benefit from higher volumes, Neptronic contributions and easing impacts from capacity start-up costs and tariffs.
SPXC Adds HVAC CapabilitiesSPXC discussed the strategic importance of its Neptronic acquisition. Lowe said the deal strengthens the HVAC portfolio by adding controls, electric duct heating, humidification solutions and actuated valves.
Management said Neptronic expands SPXC’s capabilities toward more integrated HVAC solutions. The company expects the acquisition to support growth through existing channels, OEM relationships and data center customer connections.
Carano said Neptronic is expected to grow above SPXC’s medium-term targets, with high single-digit growth potential and a margin profile above the HVAC segment average.

Detection & Measurement also posted stronger profitability. Segment income increased 43.3%, supported by project volumes, favorable mix and cost optimization initiatives.
SPXC Addresses Analyst QuestionsSPXC faced questions from analysts about the durability of Detection & Measurement margins. Carano told a BofA Securities analyst that roughly half of the margin improvement came from favorable project mix, while project timing and synergy initiatives contributed to the remainder.
A Truist Securities analyst asked about the pace of data center capacity expansion. Lowe explained that productivity improvements and facility optimization enabled the company to increase expected capacity without changing the overall ramp timeline.
A B. Riley Securities analyst questioned long-term customer agreements. Lowe said that SPXC has agreements with several customers that provide demand alignment while maintaining flexibility through formal purchase orders.
SPX Maintains Growth FocusSPX ended the quarter with $168 million of cash and total debt of $615 million. Management said that its leverage position leaves room for continued acquisitions while maintaining its strategic investment priorities.
Lowe emphasized continued investment in capacity expansion, acquisition integration and opportunities across HVAC and Detection & Measurement. The company said that its pipeline of potential acquisitions remains active.

SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) reported $679 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 22.9%. EPS of $2.02 for the same period compares to $1.65 a year ago.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $635.64 million, representing a surprise of +6.82%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +9.19%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $1.85.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
Here is how SPX Technologies performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Revenues- Detection & Measurement: $198.4 million compared to the $176.84 million average estimate based on five analysts. The reported number represents a change of +12.9% year over year.Revenues- HVAC: $480.6 million versus $458.85 million estimated by five analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +27.6% change.Segment Income- Detection & Measurement: $57.3 million versus the four-analyst average estimate of $42.44 million.Segment Income- HVAC: $109.8 million versus $111.07 million estimated by four analysts on average.View all Key Company Metrics for SPX Technologies here>>>
Shares of SPX Technologies have returned -19% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -1.5% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), indicating that it could outperform the broader market in the near term.
SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.02 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.85 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.65 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +9.19%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this infrastructure equipment supplier would post earnings of $1.55 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.69, delivering a surprise of +9.03%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
SPX Technologies, which belongs to the Zacks Building Products - Air Conditioner and Heating industry, posted revenues of $679 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.82%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $552.4 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
SPX Technologies shares have lost about 6.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6.9%.
What's Next for SPX Technologies?While SPX Technologies has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for SPX Technologies was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.07 on $668.58 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.98 on $2.61 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Building Products - Air Conditioner and Heating is currently in the top 14% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Fortune Brands Innovations (FBIN - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 4.
This maker of products for the home, like faucets, cabinets, windows and doors is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -19%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Fortune Brands Innovations' revenues are expected to be $1.16 billion, down 3.4% from the year-ago quarter.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:SPXC) (“SPX”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2026.

Gene Lowe, President and CEO, remarked, “I’m very pleased with our second quarter performance, which reflected strong execution across both segments. We delivered significant year-over-year growth in revenue and operating income, driven by robust organic growth, continued demand across our key end markets, and meaningful contributions from our recent acquisitions. These results demonstrate the strength of our portfolio and the disciplined execution of our teams.”
Mr. Lowe continued, “We’re also making meaningful progress on our strategic priorities, advancing both our organic and inorganic growth initiatives. The acquisition of Neptronic expands our HVAC portfolio with highly complementary product categories that leverage our established sales channels. At the same time, we’re increasing manufacturing capacity to support growing demand, with initial assembly of Olympus Max now underway at our Madison, Alabama facility. Given our progress to date and improved visibility, we have increased our estimated annual data center revenue capacity to approximately $1.1 billion once at full production.”
Mr. Lowe further commented, “Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, we remain confident in the strength of customer demand and the momentum across our business. Accordingly, we are once again raising our full-year guidance, including Adjusted EBITDA* to a range of $630 to $660 million, representing an approximately 27% year-over-year increase at the midpoint. Our updated outlook reflects continued strength in data center demand, the impact of the Neptronic acquisition and stronger performance from our Detection and Measurement segment, positioning us well for the balance of the year.”

Non-GAAP Presentation: This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including consolidated segment income and margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations (or, adjusted EPS), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and margin, free cash flow from continuing operations and adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations (or, adjusted free cash flow). These non-GAAP financial measures do not provide investors with an accurate measure of, and should not be used as a substitute for, the comparable financial measures as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures, give investors a useful tool to assess and understand the Company’s overall financial performance, because they exclude items of income or expense that the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance, allowing for a better period-to-period comparison of operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as measures of the Company’s performance. The Company acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Refer to the tables included in this press release for the components of each of the non-GAAP financial measures, and for the reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective comparable GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial guidance excludes items, which would be included in our GAAP financial measures, that we do not consider indicative of our on-going performance; and are calculated in a manner consistent with the presentation of the similarly titled historical non-GAAP measures presented in this press release. These items include, but are not limited to, intangible asset amortization expense, acquisition and integration-related costs, costs associated with dispositions, and potential non-cash income or expense items associated with changes in market interest rates and actuarial or other data related to our pension and postretirement plans, as the ultimate aggregate amounts associated with these items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is not practicable. Full-year guidance excludes impacts from future acquisitions, dispositions and related transaction costs, incremental impacts of tariffs and trade tensions on market demand and costs subsequent to the date of this release, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes subsequent to June 27, 2026, and environmental and litigation charges.

Key Takeaways SPXC is expected to post second-quarter revenue growth, supported by HVAC and Detection & Measurement demand.SPXC is likely to benefit from data center cooling demand, capacity expansions and acquisition contributions.SPXC's earnings are expected to grow on higher volumes despite tariff and expansion cost headwinds. SPX Technologies, Inc. (SPXC - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 30, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, its earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9% and 2.5%, respectively. Also, on a year-over-year basis, both metrics grew 22.5% and 17.4%, respectively.
The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 9.7%.
SPXC Q2 Earnings & Revenue ExpectationsThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for SPXC’s second-quarter earnings has decreased to $1.85 from $1.86 per share in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 12.1% increase on a year-over-year basis.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $635.64 million, indicating a 15.1% year-over-year rise.
Factors Likely to Shape SPX Technologies’ Quarterly ResultsRevenuesSPX Technologies' second-quarter revenues are expected to have increased year over year, supported by healthy demand across its HVAC and Detection & Measurement businesses. Growth is likely to have been driven by continued strength in data center cooling solutions, contributions from recent acquisitions and steady organic growth across key end markets. Capacity expansions across HVAC facilities and increasing production of newly introduced products are also expected to have supported higher shipments during the quarter.
Demand for data center cooling solutions is likely to have remained a key growth driver, supported by expanding customer investments in AI infrastructure and hyperscale data centers. Continued progress on capacity expansion projects, along with healthy demand across core HVAC markets and steady momentum in Detection & Measurement, is expected to have supported the company's top-line performance. Contributions from recent acquisitions are also likely to have provided an incremental boost to revenues during the to-be-reported quarter.
EarningsSPX Technologies' earnings are expected to have increased year over year, supported by higher sales volumes, favorable operating leverage and continued benefits from recent acquisitions. Productivity improvements, disciplined execution and a favorable business mix are also likely to have supported profitability during the quarter. The company's focus on operational execution and integration of acquired businesses is expected to have further strengthened earnings performance.
However, earnings growth is likely to have been partially offset by higher costs associated with HVAC capacity expansion projects and the impact of Section 232 tariffs, which management expects to be concentrated in the second quarter. While pricing actions and other mitigation initiatives are expected to have reduced part of the tariff-related impact, these measures are unlikely to have fully offset the near-term cost headwinds during the quarter.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 30, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis infrastructure equipment supplier is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.85 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +12.1%.
Revenues are expected to be $635.64 million, up 15.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for SPX Technologies?For SPX Technologies, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.35%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.
So, this combination indicates that SPX Technologies will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that SPX Technologies would post earnings of $1.55 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.69, delivering a surprise of +9.03%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
SPX Technologies appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAmong the stocks in the Zacks Building Products - Air Conditioner and Heating industry, Lennox International (LII - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $7.63 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -2.4%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $1.56 billion, up 4.2% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for Lennox has been revised 1.1% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.56%.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), this Earnings ESP indicates that Lennox will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

The U.S. construction sector is expected to report a mixed set of second-quarter 2026 results, reflecting diverging trends across residential, non-residential and infrastructure markets. While AI-driven data center construction, transportation projects and public infrastructure spending likely continued to support engineering and civil contractors, homebuilders and certain commercial construction companies probably faced persistent demand pressures from elevated mortgage rates, affordability challenges and higher construction costs. At the same time, tariffs, labor shortages and project execution risks remained important variables influencing profitability.
With the help of the Zacks Stock Screener, some of the companies under the broader Zacks Construction sector, including CRH Plc (CRH - Free Report) , KBR, Inc. (KBR - Free Report) , Owens Corning (OC - Free Report) , SPX Technologies, Inc. (SPXC - Free Report) , Amentum Holdings, Inc. (AMTM - Free Report) , are poised to beat on earnings this reporting cycle.
Per the latest Earnings Trends report, the second-quarter earnings season has so far seen releases from approximately 17.6% of the companies on the S&P 500 Index. Of these, the Construction sector's total earnings declined 20.4% year over year, while revenues fell 3.9%. Despite the weaker overall performance, 100% of the companies beat earnings per share (EPS) estimates and 66.7% exceeded revenue expectations.
Infrastructure Spending Likely Remained the Sector's Biggest TailwindInfrastructure-oriented contractors are expected to have delivered another healthy quarter, supported by continued execution of federally funded highway, bridge, water and aviation projects. Demand also remained robust from utility, energy and grid modernization investments. Engineering and heavy civil companies likely benefited from a large backlog, providing strong revenue visibility despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
Private investment in AI infrastructure remained another major growth catalyst. Construction activity tied to hyperscale data centers, power infrastructure and advanced manufacturing facilities likely supported companies with exposure to mission-critical projects. Although semiconductor and certain reshoring-related projects moderated compared with their earlier peak, AI-related spending continued to offset part of that weakness.
Residential Construction Likely Remained UnevenResidential construction probably remained the weakest area of the sector during the quarter. High mortgage rates, elevated home prices and affordability constraints likely weighed on buyer demand, forcing homebuilders to continue offering incentives to stimulate sales. While demographic demand remained supportive over the long term, near-term operating conditions were challenging. Single-family housing starts and building permits weakened further during the quarter, suggesting softer construction activity. Builders also continued balancing production with inventory levels rather than pursuing aggressive expansion, which likely restrained revenue growth across many residential-focused companies.
Non-Residential Markets Presented a Mixed PictureCommercial construction trends likely varied considerably by end market. Data centers, healthcare facilities, public buildings and education projects probably remained relatively resilient, supported by strong project pipelines and long-duration contracts. Conversely, office construction continued to face structural weakness, while several manufacturing and warehouse projects progressed more cautiously amid higher financing costs and evolving capital-spending priorities. Industrial construction also reflected mixed trends, as reshoring investments remained selective and some factory projects were delayed because of rising costs. Warehouse construction showed signs of recovery after an extended slowdown, though developers remained disciplined.
Margins Likely Reflected Both Pricing Strength and Cost PressuresProfitability across the sector is expected to have remained uneven. Contractors with specialized capabilities, disciplined bidding strategies and favorable contract structures likely preserved margins through pricing actions and efficient project execution. Companies benefiting from higher-margin data center and infrastructure work may have reported continued margin resilience. However, rising labor expenses, tariffs on construction materials, supply-chain disruptions and equipment procurement costs likely continued to pressure project economics. Homebuilders probably experienced additional margin compression from elevated incentives and higher input costs, while commercial contractors with fixed-price contracts may also have encountered cost inflation challenges.
Q2 ExpectationsPer the latest Earnings Trends report, construction sector earnings are expected to decline 3.4% for the second quarter from a year ago. This indicates a narrower decrease from the first quarter of 2026’s 4.7% decline. Revenues, however, are projected to grow 4.8%, suggesting a decline from 5.8% growth registered in the preceding quarter.
Second-quarter 2026 earnings are expected to underscore a construction industry increasingly divided between resilient infrastructure and technology-driven projects on one hand, and a still-challenging residential and traditional commercial environment on the other. Companies with diversified end-market exposure, strong execution capabilities and sizable backlogs are likely to remain the sector's best performers in the current environment.

Our proprietary methodology, Earnings ESP, shows the percentage difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Research shows that for stocks with this combination of the Zacks Rank and ESP, chances of a positive earnings surprise are as high as 70%.

Dan Russo takes us through today's Big 3 by highlighting trends in the S&P 500 (SPX) as the index trades just under its all-time high. He also highlights the iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) and the iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (GSG), believing it's important investors keep an eye on bonds and commodities in the current market environment.
Key Takeaways SPX Technologies' stock gained 26.1% in a year, outpacing the Construction sector and the S&P 500 Index.SPXC raised its 2026 data center growth outlook to 70% as cooling and air-handling demand accelerated.Segment income rose 22% to $135 million, while margin expanded 100 basis points to 23.9%. SPX Technologies, Inc. (SPXC - Free Report) has delivered a strong share price performance, reflecting solid execution, resilient demand across its key end markets and growing confidence in its long-term growth strategy. Momentum in its HVAC and Detection & Measurement businesses, accelerating demand for data center cooling solutions and disciplined acquisitions have strengthened the company's growth outlook. SPXC stock has climbed 26.1% over the past year, broadly matching the Zacks Building Products - Air Conditioner and Heating industry’s 27% rise while outperforming the Construction sector’s 14.6% gain and the S&P 500 Index’s 24.2% increase.
The outlook remains encouraging. Management raised its full-year guidance after a stronger-than-expected first quarter of 2026, citing robust execution, sustained demand across key markets and additional data center-related volumes expected in the second half of 2026. Continued investments in manufacturing capacity, product innovation and strategic acquisitions should further strengthen SPX Technologies' competitive position.
SPXC’s 1-Year Price Performance
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Over the past year, SPX Technologies has substantially outperformed several industry peers. While Carrier Global Corporation (CARR - Free Report) and Pentair plc (PNR - Free Report) posted declines of 9.5% and 28.7%, respectively, Trane Technologies plc (TT - Free Report) gained 9.2%.
SPXC's Data Center Strategy Continues to Drive Long-Term GrowthSPX Technologies continues to benefit from one of the strongest structural growth trends in industrial markets: data center infrastructure. Management noted that demand for its cooling systems and custom air-handling solutions remains exceptionally strong, prompting the company to increase its 2026 data center growth outlook from approximately 50% to 70%. SPXC also emphasized that demand continues to accelerate, supported by increasing activity from hyperscale and colocation customers.
To support this opportunity, SPX Technologies is expanding production capacity across multiple facilities. New manufacturing lines at its Tennessee and Kansas plants have already begun production, while the Alabama expansion remains on schedule to add additional assembly and manufacturing capacity through 2027. Management believes these investments, together with strong customer visibility and a diversified customer base, position the company for sustained growth beyond 2026.
SPXC's Operational Execution Continues to Support Profit GrowthSPX Technologies continues to execute well across both operating segments despite ongoing investments in capacity expansion. Consolidated segment income rose 22% year over year to $135 million, while segment margin expanded 100 basis points to 23.9%, supported by higher volumes, a favorable product mix and increased software revenues within Detection & Measurement.
HVAC segment’s income increased 20% to $88.6 million, benefiting from organic growth and acquisition contributions. Segment margin declined 40 basis points to 22.5%, mainly due to planned start-up costs associated with new production capacity. Management expects most of the estimated $8-$9 million in start-up expenses to be incurred during the first half of 2026. As the new facilities ramp up, operating leverage is expected to improve and support stronger profitability over time.
The company's disciplined acquisition strategy also continues to enhance its growth profile. Recent additions such as Thermolec and Crawford's commercial air-handling business expand SPX Technologies' HVAC capabilities, while the divestiture of Crawford United's non-core industrial and transportation businesses sharpens management's focus on higher-growth markets.
SPXC's Financial Strength Supports Future GrowthSPX Technologies maintains a healthy balance sheet that provides ample flexibility to invest in organic growth and pursue strategic acquisitions. The company ended the first quarter with approximately $158 million in cash and a leverage ratio of roughly 0.9x, well below its long-term target range. This financial strength provides significant capacity to pursue additional value-enhancing acquisitions while continuing to invest in manufacturing expansion and innovation.
The company also continues to generate positive operating cash flow while actively reshaping its portfolio. During the quarter, SPX Technologies completed the divestiture of Crawford United's non-core industrial and transportation businesses, allowing management to sharpen its focus on higher-growth HVAC and Detection & Measurement markets. Combined with a robust acquisition pipeline and raised full-year guidance, the balance sheet positions SPXC to continue executing its long-term growth strategy.
Earnings Estimate Revision of SPXC StockSPXC’s earnings outlook has improved over the past 60 days, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 rising to $7.98 per share. The consensus estimate for 2027 has remained unchanged over the same period, as shown below. The current projections imply earnings growth of 18.1% in 2026, followed by an additional 12.9% increase in 2027.

SPXC's earnings growth outlook also compares favorably with its peers. Carrier Global is expected to grow earnings by 7.7% this year, while Pentair and Trane Technologies are projected to deliver growth of 8.7% and 13.6%, respectively.
SPXC Stock Trades at a DiscountSPX Technologies trades at a forward 12-month P/E ratio of 25.77X, below the industry average. The valuation reflects investor confidence in the company's disciplined execution, expanding data center opportunity, resilient demand across key end markets and continued investments in manufacturing capacity, product innovation and strategic acquisitions. These initiatives are expected to support long-term earnings growth.
However, following the stock's strong run, execution remains critical. Delays in ramping new manufacturing capacity, slower-than-expected data center demand, integration challenges related to recent acquisitions or a greater-than-expected impact from tariffs could pressure margins and weigh on investor sentiment.
SPXC P/E Ratio (Forward 12 Months) Vs Industry
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Among peers, Carrier Global trades at a forward 12-month P/E multiple of 23.27X, while Pentair trades at 13.57X. Trane Technologies carries a higher valuation of 30.06X on the same basis. SPXC therefore trades at a premium to Carrier and Pentair but at a discount to Trane Technologies, placing it within the broader peer valuation range.
Is SPXC Stock Still a Buy After Its Strong Run?SPX Technologies remains well positioned to benefit from structural growth trends across data centers, HVAC and Detection & Measurement markets. The company continues to execute its value creation strategy through capacity expansion, product innovation and disciplined acquisitions, while its raised guidance and robust backlog underscore confidence in long-term growth. These initiatives, combined with resilient demand across key end markets, should support sustained earnings growth over time.
SPXC also maintains financial flexibility to invest in organic expansion and pursue strategic acquisitions. However, risks remain from delays in ramping new manufacturing capacity, slower-than-expected data center demand, acquisition integration challenges and tariff-related pressures.

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Building Products - Air Conditioner and Heating industry, could be a great candidate to consider.
This infrastructure equipment supplier has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 5.05%.
For the most recent quarter, SPX Technologies was expected to post earnings of $1.55 per share, but it reported $1.69 per share instead, representing a surprise of 9.03%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $1.86 per share, while it actually produced $1.88 per share, a surprise of 1.08%.
Price and EPS Surprise
For SPX Technologies, estimates have been trending higher, thanks in part to this earnings surprise history. And when you look at the stock's positive Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction), it's a great indicator of a future earnings beat, especially when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
SPX Technologies currently has an Earnings ESP of +1.53%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on July 30, 2026.
With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

About SPX Technologies, Inc: SPX Technologies, Inc. is a diversified, global supplier of highly engineered products and technologies, holding leadership positions in the HVAC and detection and measurement markets. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, SPX Technologies, Inc. has operations in over 16 countries. SPX Technologies, Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SPXC.” For more information, please visit www.spx.com.
Key Takeaways SPX Technologies ended Q1 2026 with a $755M HVAC backlog, up 38% organically YoY.Data center cooling demand and higher production throughput drove HVAC organic growth in Q1.Manufacturing expansions and acquisitions are strengthening SPX Technologies' HVAC platform. SPX Technologies, Inc.’s (SPXC - Free Report) HVAC business appears well positioned to sustain growth over the next several years, supported by a sharp increase in backlog, capacity expansion initiatives, strategic acquisitions and durable demand from data center cooling and commercial HVAC markets. The company ended the first quarter of 2026 with an HVAC backlog of $755 million, up 38% organically year over year, providing strong revenue visibility while reinforcing confidence that favorable market conditions can extend well beyond 2026.
One of the strongest structural growth drivers remains the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure and hyperscale data centers. SPXC continues to benefit from elevated demand for cooling products used in these facilities, where higher computing densities require increasingly sophisticated thermal-management solutions. During the first quarter, HVAC organic growth benefited from higher data center cooling volumes and improved throughput from recent capacity additions. These trends indicate that demand is being supported by both favorable end-market conditions and the company's improved manufacturing capabilities.
To meet rising demand, SPX Technologies has continued investing in manufacturing expansion across its HVAC operations. The company began producing highly engineered aluminum dampers at TAMCO’s new Tennessee facility in the first quarter and expects production to ramp through the year. It also started OlympusMAX production in Olathe, KS. Its Madison, AL, build-out is also progressing, with assembly expected in the second half of 2026 and initial production in the first half of 2027. These investments should improve throughput and help SPXC convert backlog into revenues.
Organic growth is also being complemented by targeted acquisitions that strengthen SPXC's HVAC platform. Over the past year, the company added Sigma & Omega, Thermolec and Crawford's commercial air-handling operations, expanding its presence across hydronic heating, electric duct heating, commercial air handling and engineered HVAC equipment. Beyond broadening the product portfolio, these acquisitions create opportunities for commercial synergies, procurement efficiencies and expanded manufacturing capabilities that should support long-term growth.
Taken together, SPXC's $755 million HVAC backlog, manufacturing investments, strategic acquisitions and exposure to durable secular growth trends suggest that its HVAC business is supported by more than a temporary surge in orders. Successful execution on capacity expansion and acquisition integration will remain important, but the company's strong backlog visibility provides a solid foundation that could sustain HVAC growth well into 2028.
How SPXC Stacks Up Against HVAC PeersSPX Technologies operates in a competitive HVAC market where demand for data center cooling, modular construction and high-performance building systems is drawing strong participation from peers such as Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (FIX - Free Report) and AAON, Inc. (AAON - Free Report) . Like SPXC, both companies are benefiting from strong technology-sector demand, expanding backlog and capacity investments tied to data center and advanced HVAC opportunities.
Comfort Systems is gaining from robust demand across mechanical and electrical solutions for technology customers. The company ended the first quarter of 2026 with a record backlog of $12.5 billion, up $5 billion from a year ago, supported by strong tech-sector demand. Advanced technology, dominated by data center work, accounted for 56% of revenues, while modular revenues represented 17% of total revenues. Comfort Systems is also expanding modular capacity, targeting 4 million square feet by the end of 2026, strengthening its ability to support large-scale data center construction.
AAON is also benefiting from strong data center thermal-management demand through its highly engineered HVAC and cooling solutions. The company reported a backlog of $2.1 billion, more than double year over year, with Basics-branded orders up 160% from the prior year and book-to-bill above 2. Basic sales grew 72% year over year, supported by data center demand and higher production from expanded facilities in Longview, Memphis and Redmond. AAON continues investing in capacity and expects Basics revenues to reach roughly $1 billion in 2026, with longer-term capacity potential above $2 billion.

Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.
By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.
However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.
SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.
Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this infrastructure equipment supplier a great growth pick right now.
Earnings GrowthEarnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for SPX Technologies is 28.8%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 18.1% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 7.4%.
Cash Flow GrowthWhile cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their businesses without depending on expensive outside funds.
Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for SPX Technologies is 34.2%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -0.2%.
While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 24.2% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 14.3%.
Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for SPX Technologies. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.1% over the past month.
Bottom LineWhile the overall earnings estimate revisions have made SPX Technologies a Zacks Rank #2 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.

This combination indicates that SPX Technologies is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.
Planned transition supports continued growth and strong leadership continuity June 19, 2026 13:00 ET | Source: SPX Technologies
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPX Technologies (NYSE: SPXC) (“SPX” or the “Company”) today announced a planned leadership transition within its Detection & Measurement (D&M) segment.
After an outstanding career with SPX, John Swann has announced plans to retire in January 2027. Since joining the company in 2004, Swann has played a pivotal role in shaping the business—driving growth, building high-performing teams, and delivering strong results across multiple areas of the portfolio, most recently as leader of the D&M segment.
As part of a thoughtful and planned succession, Eric Kaled will succeed Swann as leader of the D&M segment, effective August 31, 2026.
“On behalf of the Board and the entire SPX leadership team, I want to thank John for his many years of outstanding service and leadership,” said Gene Lowe, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPX Technologies. “During his tenure, John played a central role in scaling our businesses into larger, stronger and more profitable growth platforms. His focus on developing high-performing teams, disciplined approach to strategy and execution and ability to identify and integrate strategic acquisitions have created lasting value for our customers, employees and shareholders. As John transitions his role, I have great confidence in Eric and the D&M leadership team, and I believe the segment is very well positioned to continue its strong momentum.”
Kaled brings a strong track record of performance and leadership at SPX. Since joining the company in 2019, he has strengthened the Transportation and Communications Technologies platforms to grow financial performance and stability through multiple large-scale contract wins and the introduction of advanced customer solutions, while enhancing product innovation and operational execution. His deep understanding of the business, combined with his strategic mindset and operational leadership, position him well to lead the D&M segment into its next phase of growth.
Following the transition, Swann will remain with SPX through the end of the year to support key strategic growth initiatives and ensure a smooth leadership handoff.

SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) is a stock that can certainly grab the attention of many investors, but do its recent returns compare favorably to the sector as a whole? Let's take a closer look at the stock's year-to-date performance to find out.
SPX Technologies is a member of our Construction group, which includes 88 different companies and currently sits at #15 in the Zacks Sector Rank. The Zacks Sector Rank gauges the strength of our 16 individual sector groups by measuring the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups.
The Zacks Rank is a proven model that highlights a variety of stocks with the right characteristics to outperform the market over the next one to three months. The system emphasizes earnings estimate revisions and favors companies with improving earnings outlooks. SPX Technologies is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for SPXC's full-year earnings has moved 3% higher. This means that analyst sentiment is stronger and the stock's earnings outlook is improving.
Our latest available data shows that SPXC has returned about 17% since the start of the calendar year. At the same time, Construction stocks have gained an average of 13.5%. This shows that SPX Technologies is outperforming its peers so far this year.

SPX Technologies (SPXC - Free Report) could be a solid addition to your portfolio given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This upgrade primarily reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates, which is one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
A company's changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for SPX Technologies is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. That's partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
For SPX Technologies, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company's underlying business. And investors' appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsEmpirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.

Earnings Estimate Revisions for SPX TechnologiesThis infrastructure equipment supplier is expected to earn $7.98 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2026, which represents no year-over-year change.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for SPX Technologies. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 3%.
Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
